Their personal PC-to-Mac switching stories join the growing list from people switching from PCs to Macs every day.

"Our Switchers campaign has clearly resonated with viewers because the response has been nothing short of phenomenal," said Steve Jobs, Appleis CEO. "We are thrilled to have these real people stand up to tell their personal switching stories to the entire country."

Apple® will continue to run the TV ads this Fall on major broadcast networks like CBS and NBC, including NBCis broadcast of the 54th Annual Prime-Time Emmy Awards on Sunday, September 22, and on top cable networks like CNN, VH1, Comedy Central, Discovery Channel and ESPN.
